Petri

Petri is a series of live wallpapers with four colonies to observe and interact with. Collaboration between Thomas Buffet (thmsbfft.fr) and Lucas Dupin (lucasdup.in).

A Petri dish (named after bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri) is an enclosed dish used to culture cells in a laboratory. Today, biologists can engineer cells to express fluorescent proteins for tacking purposes.

Note : in practice, poking fingers inside a Petri dish is a definite no-no.
